This week we have been talking about Holidays Around the World! We have talked about Las Posadas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Diwali. We have enjoyed learning about some of their traditions, some of the foods they eat during the holidays, games they play, how they celebrate, etc. They have enjoyed doing a few crafts this week as well! We even painted a dreidel using marbles with our Big Buddies!

The students have also enjoyed making Christmas cards and lists for Santa this week. I hope you have enjoyed their creations!

We have continued our unit on Play by playing a few board games, some Bingo and doing some puzzles! Next week, we will do some Christmas Bingo, do a matching game, play dress up, and I will introduce another new board game!

During our Morning Meeting/Circle Time, students have enjoyed using my special pointer to come up to the board and talk to the class about the weather or the days of the week. I have enjoyed watching them become more independent and confident!

We have also been hard at work practicing our songs for our Winter Concert next week! Tomorrow is our first day practicing on the stage – wish us luck! Haha 🙂

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season! If there is ever anything you need, please let me know!
